Mystery in Space #2
In "Jesse James—Highwayman of Space!", a centuries-spanning duel unfolds as the legacy of Roger Bacon’s secret knowledge fuels a battle between good and evil, carried forward through a youth elixir. Written by Hugh Davidson and illustrated by John Giunta, this 1951 DC tale follows Allyn Kent as he grapples with the consequences of a dying man’s final gift. The cover by Carmine Infantino, with inks by Joe Giella and Sy Barry, captures the cosmic stakes of a story where history, science, and fate collide.
In "Secret of the Ages," the centuries-old duel between good and evil unfolds through the power of a youth elixir forged by Roger Bacon, passed down through the ages. As Allyn Kent, the last guardian of Bacon’s secrets, faces his final days, the legacy of the elixir—and the man who once sought to control it, Giles Murdock—comes to a quiet, fateful close.
In "The Micro-Men!", four scientists find themselves shrunk to foot-high size, facing off against towering dangers like giant cats and curious children in a world suddenly transformed into a treacherous landscape. The story captures the thrilling tension of survival on a miniature scale, where everyday objects become life-threatening obstacles.
